New York

Population 1998: 8 104 000 (metro: 29 881 000)

This is a collection of photos from my visit to New York May 16th -May 20th 1998.
The weather was sometimes cold, foggy and rainy but there was also times when the
sun was up. I was there alone and the trip was absolutely amazing. There are so many
places and buildings that I visited that I regret I didn´t take any pictures of, especially
Empire State Building. Fortunately I took many pics of WTC, that can be seen on a
separate section. And in 2011 I went back to take over 1300 high quality pictures in
this section.


UPPER WEST SIDE: Amsterdam Avenue with the gothic New York International Youth Hostel
there I stayed to the left.



MIDTOWN MANHATTAN: South Central Park.


MIDTOWN MANHATTAN: Park Avenue.


CHINATOWN MANHATTAN. The 2nd largest Chinatown in the world.

SO HO. This is the artist´s district.

a closer look you can see WTC covered with dim in the background.


On St Patrickīs day I visited the observation deck Empire State Building when it was
dark and the top had a green lightening. Unfortunately I didnīt take any pics of the
building, since I didnīt have any flash on my camera. The views were enchanting.

I also visited Chrysler Building (the elevator), Times Square with the worldīs tallest atrium
at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, the UN Building, the GM Buiding and much much more, but
unfortunately I donīt have any pictures of it. In August 2011 I finally went back and took
high quality pictures featured in this section.
